    The Brown Pillows

    One great example of our eventful noneventful life is our little arguments that end in our sides hurting from laughing so hard.  Our motto in our relationship is either 'win win' or 'lose lose' as is evident in this little slice of heaven.
    As you all know my mind has been bonkers with 'Autumn'.  I was lying in bed trying to go to sleep.  I usually think of positive rainbow & sunshine thoughts when I'm trying to go to sleep.  Decorating always brings happy thoughts my way.  I was trying to think positive when I had a thought about my sofa in the living room.  I thought that instead of changing the green pillows to the usual red for Autumn and Winter I could use these great brown pillows I had on the guest bed... Except for the fact that I changed the bedding in the guest room... 'Where are those brown pillows,' I thought. 
    Suddenly I couldn't just fill my head with lovely thoughts to put me into a quiet slumber.  Suddenly my mind was racing.  I had to think of where those brown pillows were so I could decorate the sofa tomorrow with them.  I quietly had a melt down... Did I put them in the attic?  Noooo I hadn't been in the attic.  Were they in the office closet? Noooo I just organized the office closet for 'fun' and there definately wasn't room for the brown pillows.  I don't understand.  I literally changed the bedding the day before and how could I not remember where these fabulous brown pillows were.  I couldn't take it anymore...
    I asked Adam who was in his slumber. 
     "Adam do you know where the brown pillows are?" I whispered.
    "What brown pillows?" he asked.
    "Ya know, the brown pillows that were on the guest bed.... Ya know... The ones with the gold threading!" I exclaimed.
    "I don't know... What brown pillows? I don't know what pillows you're talking about. We have brown throw pillows?" he questioned.
    'Yeeeees! Of course we have brown pillows, you picked them out to go with the bedding!!! Brown pillows! We just changed the bedding and I was going to use the brown pillows in the guest room for the sofa and an Atumn look, but I can't remember where they are; and we must find them!' I cried out.
    I couldn't  take it anymore.  Now I had to prove to him that we even owned brown pillows.  I said that we had to find them.  He jumped out of bed with me and I thought they had to be under our bed in the box spring storage portion.  We had to lift the bed up and low and behold... Nothing. No brown pillows.  Now I started freaking out.  There's no way they could be in the attic or in the super, just organized office closet.  Adam went in the office shuffling through my organization. I couldn't understand why he was in my beautifully organized closet.  I took inventory and there was no possible way they could be there.  I thought he was going to start going through rubbermaid containers!
    I started in on him, ''Nooooo noooo they can't be in theeere!"
    He said, "Hold on..."
    I interrupted him, "Nooooooo!"
    He shushed me and then he said, ''What about the pillow shams?''
    I said, "No!" (Which are stored in the organized office closet along with sheets and bedding)
    As soon as I spit that out I exclaimed, "Of course they are!"
    He asked, "What are? The pillows in the shams?"
    Suddenly it hit me.  I changed the bedding and was going to throw the brown pillows on the bed but instead stuffed them into the shams on the bed because it looked better.  We immediately went to the guest room and I pulled out the brown pillows.
    ''See! Brown pillows with gold threading!'' I exclaimed.
    "Ooooh Yeah thooose brown pillows.  Can we go back to bed now?'' Adam said.
    This to me was a win win.  Adam figured out we had brown pillows and I figured out where they were. Success!  This was followed by side laughter and a blissful sleep sleep time.
